CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE: 16 SEPTEMBER 2019
Despite the bulk of work that has established =E2=80=98race=E2=80=99 as soc=
ially constructed, =E2=80=98race=E2=80=99 remains significant in the everyd=
ay lives of migrants, whether it is imposed upon them or has become a form =
of boundary-marking amongst them. While studies on new racism against immig=
rants is growing and challenging the white-Others binary, many are still fo=
cused on white people racializing others. Such studies over-racialize selec=
t groups of non-whites including Asians while ignoring racialization and ra=
cism by Asians and among Asians. Consequently, there has been a dearth of l=
iterature on issues of racialization and racism in non-white settings.
This workshop is interested to move studies of race and migration away from=
(skin) colour as well as the =E2=80=98West=E2=80=99. It suggests that a mo=
re nuanced understanding of the global, context-specific processes of racia=
lization and new racisms can be gained by treating the dominant =E2=80=98We=
stern=E2=80=99 experiences of racialization and racism as reference points =
rather than paradigms. To extend existing theories about race, ethnicity, n=
ew racism and migration, this workshop calls for papers that examine the ra=
cialization of migrants beyond skin colour and/or in regions other than Eur=
ope and North America, including papers looking at Asian racialization/raci=
sms and co-ethnic racialization/racism. It is especially interested in work=
that considers intersectional dynamics such as gender, class, nationality =
and sexuality and/or postcolonial dynamics. Questions to be addressed inclu=
de but are not limited to the following:
* How can our understandings of race and migration be sharpened through=
an analytical focus on racialization and racisms beyond the white-others b=
inary?
* How can empirical cases of racialization and racisms in non-white-maj=
ority settings extend understandings of race and migration?
* How can the =E2=80=98invisibility=E2=80=99 of new racism such as betw=
een co-ethnics be analysed?
* How are migrants=E2=80=99 mobility implicated as difference in racial=
ization/racism discourses?
* What new concepts and methods are needed to deepen understandings of =
race and migration?
* Why are some migrants racialized more than others?
* How do migrants resist racialization/racism? Do they racialize other =
migrants?
* How do racialization/racism discourses relate to the postcolonial con=
dition, modernity and/or globalization?
